...candidates. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring. In my mind, what makes a good tutor is someone who can listen to, interact well, and understand the needs of the student. This is so important because it establishes an environment where both the student and the tutor feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings about the material. In a tutoring session, a student should feel open to ask questions and express concerns. Outside of academics, I enjoy sports,...

...populations living in tropical/temperate rain forests. I love to tutor math as well as any science courses because they have a large quantity of information that needs to be digested, but once you get that light bulb moment it's something you'll never forget.

This way the students' needs to understand and utilized information are met. It is also important that I do what I can to help students learn English while at the same time creating a friendly and professional rapport to facilitate easy and...

...give them a solid understanding of CONCEPTS rather than sets of formulas, rules, etc, without the knowledge to manipulate or apply them. My philosophy is process-oriented rather than product oriented (outcome ONLY), with an emphasis on taking the student from the level he/she is and generating marked improvement over time. It thrills me to see the light in students' eyes when they grasp a difficult concept or realize their own potential for success! I provide...
